Should I go for biotechnology in DTU or an ECE in MAIT IP?
If you are getting a chance at DTU, you should take it. Decent ECE companies do not usually visit the MAIT campus for placements. Therefore getting placed can be difficult.
Biotechnology is an emerging stream and is essential for our future in new energy, innovative tech, and creative know-how. It has a good scope and you should go for it.
Choose Biotechnology at DTU especially if-
- If you have even a slight interest in Biology
- Want to crack CAT or UPSC
- Want to go for MS
DTU offers pretty good placement opportunities for all branches, right after graduation.
The college life, infrastructure, peer groups, and crowd at DTU are all better than MAIT.
The DTU brand holds prestige and you will benefit from it in your career.
Thus, you should go for Biotechnology at DTU. Go for ECE at MAIT only if you are very passionate about this stream.
Which is better IIT Delhi EE or IIT Roorkee ECE?
Although many might not agree, I think ECE is much better than electrical engineering. People tend to choose IID mainly because of the brand name that comes attached to it. If the tag was to be negated, then by all terms IIT Roorkee is better than IIT Delhi’s Electrical Engineering.
Moreover, I feel Electrical has too much workload both in IIT Delhi as well as Roorkee. This does not save you time for extracurricular activities.
Delhi is one of the most polluted cities in India and does affect the overall educational experience of the students. Although my personal suggestion is to opt for IIT Roorkee ECE, it’s better to talk to students from both institutes and branches.
Which are the core companies (ECE) that visit NIT Kurukshetra for placements?
Only a few core ECE companies visit NIT Kurukshetra such as Freescale, Ericsson, Reliance, Idea, etc. One needs to be among the top 20-30 and have a strong grasp of the concepts of ECE to get placed in these companies. You will face intense competition while appearing for these companies so be prepared.
The salary range varies from company to company. Freescale offers around INR 10 LPA while most of them offer around 5–6 LPA.
What should I prefer, IIIT Delhi for ECE or BITS Hyderabad for mechanical?
I will suggest you consider your own interests first rather than the placement scenario. For this, you can go through the course structure of both branches. If you still are unable to determine the right choice for yourself, go through the following pros and cons of both institutes
IIIT Delhi

- IIIT Delhi has a more Research-oriented curriculum and has an interdisciplinary approach to the curriculum.
- The packages offered are at par with most tier-1 colleges like DTU, NSUT, decent NITs, etc.

Cons

- The college has a huge brand name and alumni pool which adds credibility in promotions and pay grades.
- The college has the PS system, which gives every student 8 months (6+2) of internship in top companies solely based on your preference and CGPA.
- The institute has a very charming campus life
Cons:
- No compulsory attendance policy which might affect those who aren’t very self-motivated.
- A lot of participation in festivals and cultural events is required which although good, might affect your academics negatively.
Ultimately, choose what signs with your preferences.

What should I chose between BITS Pilani Hyderabad ECE and IIT Kharagpur Manufacturing science and engineering?
This answer can be answered in 2 aspects; branch wise and Institute wise.
Branch-wise, ECE is way ahead of Manufacturing Science and Engineering and has a wider scope after graduation. ECE students are hired by both electronics and software companies. Moreover, ECE is a major stream whereas Manufacturing is just a sub-stream under Mechanical Engineering.
Specifically talking about colleges only, I would suggest you choose IIT KGP which has a stronger brand name and legacy than BITS Pilani Hyderabad. Its reputation is not just limited to India and has great scope outside India as well. It gets better and more companies than BITS during campus placements.
One major point of difference is the location of both institutes. Hyderabad has a much superior location than IIT Kharagpur thus offering better college life and exposure. IIT KGP is remotely located and lacks the necessary industry touch and exposure.
You have to travel long distances just to eat or do shopping. You will miss out on city life and the opportunities it has to offer. While the campus is great, you have to stay inside as the world outside is desolate. Spending 4 years without much exposure might limit your opportunities.
Hyderabad on the other hand has everything city life has to offer apart from being a major IT hub. This makes it possible to apply for campus jobs as well which is not possible in the case of IIT KGP.
In the end, it’s you who has to make a decision. Go where your heart is inclined the most be it ECE or Manufacturing at IIT or BITS. Just make sure to make a decision that will not make you regret it later.
